Crouch API question

kookster · September 2018

So I know there is the event OnStealthStateChanged which triggers when you are no longer invisible, visible, or almost visible. I am wondering if there is a event or method that you can use to tell if you are crouched while invisible using like a potion or NB stealth ability. If not then I guess this is a request.

Also as a note GetUnitStealthState(string unitTag) does not return any of a difference while you are invisible and crouched vs invisible and not crouched.

The base game functions for "special moves" (including crouch) are private and thus you are not able to access, use or prehook etc. them:
* OnSpecialMoveKeyPressed *private* (*[SpecialMove|#SpecialMove]* _moveIndex_)

* OnSpecialMoveKeyDown *private* (*[SpecialMove|#SpecialMove]* _moveIndex_)

* OnSpecialMoveKeyUp *private* (*[SpecialMove|#SpecialMove]* _moveIndex_)

SpecialMove:
h5. SpecialMove
* SPECIAL_MOVE_INDEX_BLOCK
* SPECIAL_MOVE_INDEX_CROUCH
* SPECIAL_MOVE_INDEX_INTERRUPT
* SPECIAL_MOVE_INDEX_ROLL_DODGE
* SPECIAL_MOVE_INDEX_SPRINT

Taken from ESOUIDocumentationP20.txt from the forums at www.esoui.com

So I think there is currently no way to differ between crouched and non-crouched stealth. Only stealth or no stealth.
And there is no way to acieve this via the API, you'd need to aks Zos about a new function like IsPlayerCrouching()

That's what I feared, thanks for the confirmation.

Unfortunately there's no easy way to get the information, but it is possible through an indirect method. You will need to check to see if an invisibility potion effect is currently active, as well as if an effect from the NB skill is active. There also might be some kind of buff effect you can check for to see if the player is crouching.

After looping through all of my buffs using: GetUnitBuffInfo("player", index) I couldnt find a buff for being crouched.
